Refuge Women has multiple locations in the United States. The organization offers free safe housing 24 – hour care as clients progress through evidence-based, trauma-informed programming for a year.
Moreover, the organization aspires to assist women in completing the program with a plan for her future, equip herself to succeed and sustain her life with hope and dignity.
Trades of Hope
As indicated on its webpage, Trades of Hope is a mother-daughter team. With the knowledge of factors that force women to give up their kids to orphanages, reasons that keep them in poverty, factors that make them at high risk of being trafficked, and social oppression, the founders decided to use the privilege they have to make a platform.
Trades of Hope is this platform. It created an opportunity for women to know what they were capable of. According to the website, such women taught the founders that they do not need charity. Instead, they want an opportunity.
The Global Trunk
The Global Trunk mission is to give opportunities for indigenous artisans from around the globe by bringing handcrafted, repurposed, and fair-trade products into the global market. The communities in need benefit from all the TGT sales. According to its webpage, a percentage of all TGT are donated to such communities.
